Mia paced up and down at the entryway, her face pale and contorted due to worry. Mia couldn’t help a certain fear that began to surge in her due to that person—the fear of Hayden leaving or alienating Mia. Even though she didn’t know how far that person’s power and influence extended, she knew that person was capable enough to make it happen, and it made her feel very helpless. Although Mia told Hayden to feign a kiss to make Zenos jealous. In fact, Mia was only being playful. After all, it was only after that person appeared in Grail that Hayden recovered and became a happy-go-lucky person. She was afraid that if Hayden and Zenos broke up, Hayden would revert to being the type of person he was when he came to Grail. Moreover, that person is very crazily possessive toward Hayden, and she is afraid that person would hold grudges and definitely make Hayden and Mia pay. Mia, just like Hayden and Zenos, was also stunned to receive a kiss on the cheek. Although the lovestruck girl in he
Hayden’s back arched and his fingers dug into the blanket, tears streaming down his face. He hiccuped pitifully. “Zen, really. Really didn't mean to kiss. Wuu. Wuu. Zen. I assume that person was your ex, okay? Wuu. Ahh, Zen. That's the truth. Mia suggested a fake kiss to attract your attention, but I rejected it. Ahhhh! My lips meeting Mia’s cheeks was a mistake. Really, mistake. Wuu. Wuu. Zen, are you annoyed about the holidays? I didn't mean it, okay? I was only bad once. No, twice, or maybe thrice. I didn't cheat on you. I only caused a little mischief. Mischief. Boohoo.”The poor Hayeen was tossed about to the point that he started speaking gibberish and revealing the truth of all he did in the past.Unfortunately, regardless of all Hayden said and begged, Zenos was unfazed.What made the poor Hayden bitter the most is that if it were on the norms that Zenos was tossing him about like this, he'd definitely have fainted due to Zenos's overwhelming strength long ago, but…Somehow,
“Ahhh!” Hayden’s lips parted, and he broke out into a loud, painful groan, a bead of sweat on his face. Hayden winced and sucked in a cold breath. Damn, it hurts. It hurts a lot. Really hurt. Really hurt a lot. Did Hayden mention that it hurt? It really does. Due to Zenos’s calm actions ever since Zenos that jerk returned to Grail, Hayden already believed that Zenos’s cold actions and lustful behavior had already calmed down a lot—causing the poor Hayden to lose his guard, but…It turns out that when Zenos goes crazy, Hayden will be the one to pay for it fiercely. Well, if it weren’t Hayden, who was thinking nonsense and making Zenos so infuriated that Zenos turned into a beast the day before.Sigh! The impact made Hayden’s whole body from head to toe ache a lot. There’s no part of his body that doesn’t hurt. Sigh! A sudden kiss on the lips jolted Hayden from his reverie and made Hayden’s eyes fly wide open. Upon seeing Zenos’ calm and composed expression, a surge of grievance an
Upon seeing Zenos leisurely leaning on the bed, Hayden’s face turned grim and cold. He knew Zenos didn't have any intention to bring him downstairs, and Zenos wanted him to walk down himself. Clearly, someone wanted to show offHayden snorted, held on to the wall, and carefully limped toward the door. His face was red, and his lips parted in a gasp for breath. Hayden had just twisted the doorknob when he was suddenly swept off his feet and bridal-carried. Hayden’s eyes lit up, and he exhaled in joy. Luckily, he doesn’t have to descend the stairs himself. The thought of doing so made his legs tremble. Regardless of Hayden’s thoughts, Hayden’s expression was cold to the bone, and he ignored Zenos nonchalantly. As soon as Zenos descended the stairs, Hayden was placed on his feet, and Zenos used his chin to motion Hayden to continue himself. Immediately, Zeno strode into the kitchen.Hayden almost faltered. Must Zenos be so petty? Clearly, Zenos could bring him to the living room before
The instant Zenos and Hayden got into the car, familiar soft lips fell on Hayden's lips and captured Hayden's lip in a fierce kiss. Hayden wrapped his hands around Zenos’ neck and smiled.It wasn't until Zenos discovered that the boy was almost out of breath that Zenos reluctantly parted from Hayden.Hayden leaned onto Zenos. He extended his hands and traced his swollen lips with his fingers. "Why are you jealous?" He inquired.Shouldn't he be the one who's eating vinegar? Why was it Zenos instead?Zenos grabbed Hayden's fingers and placed a gentle kiss on them. He cupped Hayden's cheeks and stroked Hayden's face. "Everything about you is worthy to be jealous of. Especially when there's Mia who keeps looking for a chance to get you back..."Hayden's expression changed, and he pursed his lips in grievance. "She never owns me." He hugged Zenos and clarified, "Don't talk like I was once hers."Zenos's lips curved up, and he placed a soft kiss on Hayden's nose. "Hm."Minutes later, the ca
PROLOGUEYears back On the outskirts of the city, the road was deserted with hardly any cars passing by except an expensive car that was parked near the road. Heavy rain was falling, and it was very chilly that late afternoon. “Mom! Please don't leave!” A little boy of 6 years who was just dropped from an expensive car cried out, he was afraid of the things to come if his mother dumped him in an unknown and deserted place where there appears to be no signs of humans. The little boy was a bit thin and malnourished, he was dressed in dirty and worn-out clothing from head to toe, but that couldn't even hide his handsome and noble expression. He cried out pitifully with tears streaming down his handsome little face. He was trying to pull the woman's gown, but the woman looked unfazed, dressed in expensive luxury from up to down, she coldly pushed the small boy away with contempt and disgust written on her face while the guards watched everything nonchalantly. The woman pushed the boy
“When is that little doctor coming back?” Zenos questioned as he made his way to the club's private lobby calmly amidst ambient lighting, blasting music, making out couples, dancing and sweating bodies, etc. He coldly ignored the people who were batting their eyes at him seductively. Thinking that it would help Zenos relax and let out steam as the search engine said; Zenos's friends decided to drag him to a popular club in the city to make him lose his composure and probably act like the teen he is or hopefully finds someone who'd catch his eyes.“Michael is older than you!” Jude interrupted with amusement, making Zenos scoff at him. A dancing girl passed by them while throwing a flirtatious gaze.“He should be back before next week, his seminar has been extended,” Sean said calmly while eating a banana. David and Jude shook their heads at Sean's eating fruit habit, but it's known among them that messing with Sean's fruit is equal to looking for death, which made them unable to do a
The loud noise didn't resonate well with Hayden, but the excitement pictured on Andy's face made him keep his shut. Besides, he'll be meeting Rose, the girl he has been courting for almost 2 weeks in a few minutes which made him a little eager. Suddenly, Hayden's whole body screamed alert as he felt like he was being watched by an intense gaze. After being occasionally targeted, he tends to know when danger is near, but subconsciously he found himself relaxing because the gaze doesn't mean danger, instead it kind of brings a safe feeling to him. Hayden lifted his head to look in the direction of the intense gaze, but seeing numerous people and the inability to see those people's faces, he turned and walked away while holding Andy's hand.“Invite to the dancing room. Mr., be my partner!” Andy said with a laugh as he bowed playfully. Hayden smacked Andy's hand away. “Be serious”. Hayden warned coldly and then dragged him towards the bartender amidst dancing bodies and a flirtatio
